Urbaser secures the operation of a plant in the outskirts of Paris

Urbaser, a service company of ACS group, and its French affiliate, the engineering company Valorga, have been awarded the contract for the operation over the next 13 years of the plant for the treatment of Urban Solid Waste of Varennes-Jarcy, in the outskirts of Paris.

The facilities, with capacity for the treatment of 100,000 tonnes of waste a year, provide services to 15 town councils near the capital of France with over 165,000 inhabitants.

During the first 18 months of the contract, Urbaser will carry out a number of changes at the plant with the purpose of improving the output and qualities. This will entail an investment of 3.8 million euros in the facilities.

The forecast revenues during the life of the concession will amount to around 80 million euros, including both the fees that will be charged for the waste treatment and the sale of compost and electric power produced from methane.
